(Click for a close-up)

The XLogic Alpha-Link Audio I/O Product Range from Solid State Logic is a new collection of highly flexible and fully featured multichannel audio converters for studio, live and broadcast applications at an incredible price/performance ratio. Solid State Logic will exhibit the XLogic Alpha-Link range at the 2007 Winter NAMM Show, January 18 to 21 (Booth #6905).

The Alpha-Link Audio I/O product range is comprised of three models, all featuring high-quality, 24-channel SSL-enhanced AD/DA converter circuitry and offering a choice of digital audio format options. The Alpha-Link MADI SX is a MADI & AES/EBU based converter, while the Alpha-Link AX and Alpha-Link MADI AX are ADAT Lightpipe-based converters.

The XLogic Alpha-Link series of audio converters are stylishly designed, 2U-high rack-mountable units with deceptively simple front panel controls. Each offers a comprehensive input/output routing matrix used to set up global connections between the various I/O connections that make all combinations possible. There is also a handy front panel headphone connection and a metering section for the analogue inputs and outputs with an AD/DA selection button, mode indicator LEDs and 24 tri-colour level LEDs.

All Alpha-Link units can be used as standalone format converters, or when used in combination with a Soundscape Mixpander PCI card, they provide a powerful, highly flexible I/O solution for native PC-based audio workstations. When the unit is connected to a Mixpander, the inputs and outputs can be routed individually from the PC using the Soundscape Mixer software.

ALPHA-LINK MADI-SX: Professional MADI to AES/EBU & AD DA converter
Featuring up to 64 channels of digital MADI I/O at 48 kHz (or 32 channels at 96 kHz), 12 stereo AES/EBU digital I/O, 24 balanced analogue I/O, TDM format Expansion Bus and much more, the Alpha-Link MADI SX delivers a dependable, versatile, high-quality MADI to AES/EBU based conversion solution. Alpha-Link MADI SX is priced at $3,595.00.

ALPHA-LINK MADI-AX: Professional MADI to ADAT Lightpipe and AD/DA converter
Featuring up to 64 channels of digital MADI I/O at 48 kHz (or 32 channels at 96 kHz), 24 ADAT Lightpipe digital inputs and outputs at up to 48 kHz (12 ADAT Lightpipe digital inputs and outputs at up to 96 kHz), 24 balanced analogue I/O, TDM Expansion Bus and much more, the Alpha-Link MADI AX delivers a dependable, versatile, high-quality MADI to ADAT Lightpipe based conversion solution.
